Chapter 113 Leaving me so soon? Part 1

Shi Meng sulked the entire night with his mind a complete mess. The more he saw her happy and carefree, the more he wanted to tear her down.
What right does she have to be so happy, after messing his life up like this? He just couldn't bring himself to focus on anything else.
He knew he was a bit too obsessed with her. But, she had made him feel like such as fool, acting, and scheming right under his nose.
So, how could he, Shi Meng, just let her get away without any consequences?
Shi Meng bit his lips and took another swig of his drink. Tonight, he wanted to get himself drunk in order to clear his mind and heart.
If his mind continued to be a mess like this, he would only end up losing to her again and again!
As Shi Meng was solitarily sitting in his office couch, and drinking himself to a stupor, his phone next to him flashed with dozens of missed calls.
Almost all of them were from Angela Hissenger, except for the couple from his mother.
But he completely ignored everything and shut himself off for the night.
Ironically, his sad little pity party, mourning his losses to his ex-wife, set another series of events in motion, affecting everyone involved in a huge ripple effect!
.............
Dallas, United States:
Reunion Tower, top floor hotel room:
Angela cursed herself and threw her phone down in a fit of anger.
She was a gorgeous blonde with a mesmerizing impeccable face and a pair of piercing deep blue eyes, the very definition of perfection, flawless beauty.
Even without her beauty, she was easily one of the most successful business tactician and the only daughter of a concrete empire!
With her background, does she even need to obsess over a guy!
All her life, she was only used to men flocking towards her and fawning over her.
But the guy she was interested in actually dodged her calls and showered her with indifference!
She was a strong, powerful and independent woman, so how could she just give up something so important to her, without even putting up a fight??
She composed herself and calmly picked up the phone she had tossed on the ground earlier.
Luckily it was not broken. Not that it mattered.
After all, she owned a million shares of the company that actually makes that phone.
She quickly dialed that familiar number and waited for a response.
A lazy over-worked voice sounded from the other end, "Why are you calling me at this ungodly hour?"
Angela was annoyed at the rude temperament, but continued anyway, "I will get permission from dad tomorrow. Accompany me to Hangzhou this week."
The lazy listless voice suddenly sounded excited and filled with interest, "Damn it. So when you want, you will arrange it huh? What about me? I have been asking dad for this for months now!! Bullshit!"
He might have sounded angry, but his expression nevertheless was that of joy and amusement.
He was finally going to meet her again!! It has almost been a year now! This time he won't let her escape anywhere from his eyesight...
Robert sighed as he reminisced that small cute face smiling back at him. Su Lin was it...
His lips curved upwards ever so slightly.
................
Back in Hangzhou city:
After Squirrel and Kuala argued for a good half an hour about the purchased properties and the projected revenue, someone commented about lack of business sense and somehow they ended up playing the board game Monopoly.
With the whole bunch of them being chatty and boisterous, the entire evening turned out to be light-hearted and fun-filled.
And to someone like Su Lin, who has seen a lot of bloodshed and cruelty in her life, an evening like this quickly became one of her fond memories.
Slowly and steadily her life has been constantly changing every day, even without her noticing.
The man who forcefully pushed his way into her life has now successfully breathed fresh air into her monotonous life.
But still, something didn't sit right with Su Lin...
In fact, this was something she had been wary of since the very first day she had met Luther.
She lied down on the bed and stared at the beautiful butterflies painted on the ceiling.
The man, who so obviously treasured her and cherished her, even more than his life, for some reason, felt so far and distant at times.
And this was, in spite of him, constantly showering his attention on her.
She felt so close and so far from him at the same time.
Her eyelashes fluttered restlessly as she pondered what prevented him from letting her in completely.
Her own insecurities and fears surfaced in her muddled mind as well, further inducing chaos into her already confused heart.
How will he react if he ever knows that I am not even from this planet?
How will he react if I tell him that I am literally a 100, 000 or so years older than him?
She tossed and turned in her bed, disrupting the smooth and perfectly arranged silky sheets.
The woman who once stood at the pinnacle of cultivation and alchemy rolled around the bed like a teenage school girl lacking confidence, in front of the boy she crushed on.
Su Lin herself found her behavior ridiculous and amusing.
She brushed her chaotic thoughts aside and stood up to see why Luther hadn't come in yet.
That handsome idiot had almost made it into a habit by now to sneak into her room every single night and obnoxiously snore beside her.
And today, he actually dared to command her and adamantly move her to his bedroom!
But, he is not here yet?
She couldn't decipher his contradicting actions even one bit!!
Su Lin got out of their huge master bedroom and walked downstairs.
Weirdly, the entire house seemed to be very silent and deserted.
